Besides animated WEBP, this build mostly focuses on fixing a number of issues posted on the issue tracker.

As always, Thank you all for posting feedback, and giving support and donations!
I appreciate it so much!

I hope you all enjoy the new release! ❤️

It's been a while!

I'm so sorry I haven't been more been more around this past year.
There has been a severe lack of releases and of support, and I apologize for that.

Last year I was put in charge of a large part of a project, and all the spare time I usually
spend on Icaros, was put into this project. I should hopefully be done soon with most of
the work on this other project and I definitely intend to get back to Icaros as soon as possible.

In the meantime, I've decided to open up Icaros to a few developers that I know and trust,
and they will be given full access to the source and the rights to post new releases here.
I will still fully manage the project, and work on it myself as well, however this should
hopefully provide more frequent releases to you all.

And as always, Thank you all so incredibly much for donating, translating, writing feedback,
providing bug reports, and contributing to make Icaros better with every release. ❤️

And for full transparency here is the total donation amount in 2025:
$479

Thank you all so much! ❤️

(Also don't worry, if you've posted an issue or discussion on here, I will get back to
you at some point)

I hope you all enjoy the new albeit small release this time!

 I was getting tired of seeing the MGM lion as the thumbnail for most of my movies . Icaros  fixed it so  I now can chose cover art or a screen shoot from the movie to use as the thumbnail in  Windows!
However I do have a problem when I  use my pc as  a ”media server” for  other units (android phone Samsung TV ,  android TV box , android TV etc. ) the thumbnail always  seems to be from 25% in the movie and never show the embedded cover art.

Some things I tried to solve it:
Change the time to 30 % in Icaros  and or change the thumbnail works great in Windows, but no change on android devices! tried to clear the thumbnail db in all way I could find, but ther was still a data base that containd the thumbnail from 25%  I saw it once but  couldn’t figure out its  location (the one that android devises showed) So  got desperate and did a clean install of windows 10  yes CLEAN lol (diskpart clean all) now the 25% thumbnail cash most be gone.

Or So I thought, but  after the reinstalling windows 10 and  before I tried to stream any movies I set Icaros to 30% and double checked the all the movies had the cover art in place with mp3tag before activate Icaros. All worked perfect in Windows like before, but still there seems to be cash somewhere in windows that is built up using Icaros thumbnail from 25 %  and not from 30 % that I chose and no cover art on Android devises!! If I deactivate Icaros, and clear thumbs I have some files that don’t show any thumbs (Ripped from DVD) both in Windows and Android devises.  But when I activate Icaros it works in Windows, but once again show the thumb nails  from 25% on Android devises

Since I once saw the thumbnail  from 25%  when I had chosen 30 % (yes I wish I could remember how I did it )  in windows I am convinced that  windows use the default settings for Icaros to create a thumbnail db for the movies to be stream.

I have uninstalled vlc cleared cash on Android devises etc etc etc etc.
Any suggestions how to fix it would be appreciated  
 
Thank you  in advance

Does or can Icaros cache these shortcuts?  Does setting their view to list or small, medium or large icons make any difference?

I have a slightly smaller release for you today.
It mainly focuses on updating libraries and fixing a number a bugs, that was reported on the issue tracker.

I consider the release completely stable, however I'm currently replacing the motherboard of my main
development machine (it was unfortunately faulty), so I couldn't run all the usual tests before this release.
So just to be on the safe side, I'm making todays release a Beta release.

I also just counted up the donations from 2024, so I could share the final amount with all of you as I like to do,
and I was honestly blown away. Icaros has never had this many donations over the span of a year.

I am so grateful for all your support, and I can't thank all of you enough for helping me with
donations, feedback, translations and troubleshooting.

Total donation amount in 2024:
$636

Thank you all so incredibly much! ❤️

I hope you all enjoy the new release!

In Explorer, I want to keep show thumbnails not icons enabled; the reason for this is so I can have interactive folders that change the folder images based on what files are inside. However, I'd like to be able to only show icons for JPG. I already have removed this extension from Icaros' filetypes, but with the "global" show thumbnails in Explorer enabled, it still generates thumbs for JPGs. Some programs have custom icon settings that allow this to be overridden, but IrfanView can't do it.

So, anyone know of a third-party utility that can do it? Thanks and have a nice day.]]>
